3 Months Post Op on May 30, 2008 7:32 pm
Wooo Hooo! on April 16, 2008 1:12 pm 30 pounds down!!!!! Can you tell I am very excited! :o) Life is getting good. Love to all......my fellow loser friends. I love you all!
1 Month Post-Op on March 27, 2008 2:04 pm Saw Dr. Suh today and he says I am doing great. I have lost 22 pounds and I feel really good. I'm just chuggin' along! I am now able to eat whatever I want except for beef, pork, and grapes. And of course if I want to succeed and not get dumping syndrome; I will need to stay far away from High Carbs, High Sugar, & High Fatty foods. Anyhow, the hernia is getting better. Dr. Suh said to just be careful how I am lifting and not to lift things that are too heavy. Hernia's take some time to heal apparently. Well, until next time......God Bless!
2 Weeks Post Op on March 12, 2008 11:27 am Well, I am doing much better. I started walking yesterday and as of today I am down 17 lbs.!!!!!! I have pretty much no pain but for the last two days I have been pretty tired. I return to work on Monday which I am not too thrilled about but hopefully I will be able to quit soon and be home with my baby boy again. The good thing is that it will keep me somewhat busy and this weight will come off faster than if I just stayed at home. Anyhow, until next time.....God bless!

I did it! on March 5, 2008 2:50 pm I did it! I am one week post-op and doing okay. I went to my one week post op appt and I've lost 8.5 lbs. I was disappointed and thrilled at the same time. So, anyway, I had surgery on Wednesday and things went well although I had to go back in Friday night at about midnight for a hernia that developed. I should've came home on Friday morning but when the Dr. Suh came in to see me that morning I showed him how my stomach had a hard swollen area the size of a grapefruit. The swelling was causing two of my incisions to drain and it hurt real bad. Needless to say I had surgery that night about midnight and wasn't able to go home until late the next night. So......it was like starting all over. But....I am doing well now! Thank you for the prayers!

on February 19, 2008 5:51 pm Okay, so I called Dr. Suh's office and they told me that they sent over everything to my primary doc. He needs to send everything over to my insurance to request approval for surgery. I then called my PCP and Debbie the nurse said they sent everything over and should have an answer tommorow. She told me to call her by noon and she will let me know if she has an answer yet. I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel! I am almost on the losing side people!!!! :o) I will keep you posted.

I wasn't a real heavy kid but I was always heavier atleast I would say by 20-30 pounds compared to the other girls my age. I remember being in junior high and going to PE and being embarressed when it came time to "weigh" and do the whole body fat test. Mine was always alot higher than my friends and I just hated that. I can never really remember being able to just wear "anything". Things just fit my body not quite right. As I got older there were a few times when I slimmed down but it all really began when I had my first child. I got married at 18 and one year later was having my first child. Now mind you, I was no little petite thing when I got married. I weighed 176 at that time and by the time I had my daughter I weighed 226. I struggled with each pregnancy and afterwards I struggled even more. Well, here I am again. I now weigh 247 and I absolutely hate it. Now, someone could easily say, "Well, go on a diet, excercise!" I have tried believe me. Maybe not to the fullest extent. Maybe not compared to the person down at the sports park jogging or walking every morning. But I have tried. And after struggling for more than 15 years I am reaching out for help. I am choosing to have this upcoming surgery as a tool to help me. I know its gonna be tough, but I am willing to do it. I just know that I am never gonna get this weight off myself. I am weak, I am discouraged. And just like someone would say to a drug addict or alcoholic...go get the help. I am getting that help. I have seen my weight jump all over the scale. But in 15 years I have not seen it under 200. It has been up as high as 280 and I see myself headed in that direction again. It scares me to no end. I hate being this big. I feel uncomfortable in my own skin. My weight has affected my life and my relationships too long. I am getting older now and really starting to feel the weight where as 10-15 years ago I was able to deal with it. (Physically) I am tired all the time although I never have time to be tired. (If that makes sense) I am looking forward to being "normal". I pray that through this journey I will become the person that I have always dreamed of being. The wife, lover, friend, mother, playmate in the park, and so many other things. I want to be able to ENJOY life. found this animal layout at HOTFreeLayouts.com
